A REFORMED GAMBLER
Who Did Not Tell His Story in the
GOSpei Army Hall,

A company in which elderly females
was conspicuous feature partly filed
Exposition hall last evening to hear the
experience of one who termed himself a
reformed gambler who had been
brought to see the error of his ways
through the Gospel army.
On Il platform which contained a cab
met organ, a tamb0urine and a big bass
drum, the latter bearing the inscrip-
ton, Cedar Hill Drum Corps" there
were grouped an elderly woman, at
tired in a severely simple black suit,
administered individual whose black
clothing was plentifully gold-striped,
and stout, husky, red-faced fellow
with cioSe-cropped hair and pouStache.
His mission seemed to be to evoke the
greatest amount of noise from the bass
drum. and he welded the drumStickS
with such good effect that the padding
protruded in several places.
. This latter individual was the self
styled reformed gambler, but he looked
more like some good-humored farmer
+ than one who made a profession of deal
ing brace game of faro, throwing
monte or picking up flats for skinning
purposes. He announced in the outset
InaI he Ndu DeSH crOOkeu anu ndu leu
checkered life, but owing to the smallness
of the audience he would refrain from
giving his experiences as an emiSSary of
satan until another evening and more
propitiOus occasion. Meanwhile the
administered man encouraged the
speaker with Il few gfunted amenS and
.halleiujahS and the woman in black
iingled the tamborine as an invigorator
to the eX-gambler, but he made a poor
effort and finally subsidized amid chorus
of 600 on, brother" fervently calculated

THE STATES WARDS.
What IL Costs to Keep Dwellers in
Public Institutions.

Its third quarterly financial statement,
covering the nine months ending April
80, 1887. of all the state Institutions, has
been issued by the state board of cor
rectionS and charities. 1t is Il long one
and full of interesting figures: The
appropriations made by the legislature
for the fiscal year ending July 81, 1887,
were for ordinary current expenses,
$3.50. 1S6.4S; for lands, buildings, etc,
1920, 007.91; making total for all pur-
poses of $3.50. 193. 46. The expenses of the
several institutions for the nine months
have been for ordinary current ex-
penSeS, S307. 1861; for lands, buildings,
etc. Sl25, 3733.47; making total bf $780,
1927. There still remains in the state
treasury undrawn from the appropria-
tons of the current and previous years
for ordinary current expenses, $685.
66S.44: for lands, buildings, etc, $751;
S4l.9S; making a total of $3.50, 010.42. The
treaSurers of the several institutions
had on hand April so, 1887, cash amount
ing to $50. 1854. -
A table is submitted showing the net
current expenses per capita in each in
Stitution from Aug. |, 1856. to April so,
1887. 1t amounts to the following:
st. Peter asylum, average number of
nine months, Sl2S.49.
Rochester asylum, inmates, 623; cost
per capita, Sl23.60.
School for deaf, Faribault, inmates,
133; cost per capita, S2223. SOP. -
School for blind, inmates, IS; cost per
capita. S3G4.02. -
School for predetermined, inmates, 90;
cost per capita, S224.45.
State reform school, inmates, 201; cost
per capita, $123.S3. '-'~s7~
State public school, Owatonna, i'll
mates, Is; cost per capita, S265.72.
State prison, Saltwater, inmates, 1913;
cost per cOpita. S60.SS.
Total number of inmates, 2,3SS; av-
erage cost per capita, Sl2S.5S..
VACATIONS.
The schools for the deaf, blind and
predetermined had vacation during Au-
gust and part of September, 1856. Had
the average been computed for the
school term instead of the full term the
results would have been as follows ::
School for the deaf, average number of
inmates 1872, per capita, SlSl.12; school
for the blind. average number 41.6, per
capita %260.17: school for the feeble
minded, average number 1916, per cap
ftp S307.S2.
The total number of days board fur
nished in the eight institutions to in
mates was 652,1l6; to officers and en-
ployes. l,759; total, 743,S75. ltappears
therefore that for every seven inmates
one employee receives board.
A comparison is made with the report
of the Illinois board of public charities,
of the Illinois institutions, for the three
months ending March 81, this year. The
cost per capita in Illinois amounted to-:
H0SnitalS for insane $40 70. school for
deaf, S47.62; school for blind, S50.49;
asylum for feeble-minded, $500 :;
soldiers orphans home, S3D.46: state
reform school. S:34.21; total average of
S42.66. The Minnesota average for each
quarter in the nine months was $3.50, a
difference of only % cents in favor of
